Richard, very good stuff. I am trying to make sense of the numbers. Let me paraphrase the data: A table with 4 columns and 9710 rows. Each table cell contains a block and there is also a block around the table. This gives us (roughly) the 87394 CommonBorderPaddingBackground and CondLengthProperty[] instances. We also have an ArrayList (the property list) per formatting object and each ArrayList is backed by an Object[]. What are the 81632 instances of class char[]? I assume this is the text in the table cells. But why are there more than twice as many as there are table cells? Your summary also shows 126237 instances of class org.xml.sax.helpers.LocatorImpl. I believe the only purpose of these helpers if for providing location information in error messages. Looks like a fairly expensive feature. > As you can see, there's still a lot of value in getting the compound > properties reusable - which I still intend on doing.

A possible next step would be to reuse identical property lists. Especially in documents with lots of identically formatted table cells this would further reduce the memory footprint. > I'm also currently reading through Knuth's Digital Typography.
